Any well functioning team benches Bryce

Bruh I get it, but you have to give him credit for turning it around in the game and not give up.

I think he made 3 critical throws the whole second half. If you want to give him credit for that....fine. But THIS can't be the case every single week. I think that's the point. This the patriots game all over again if they dont put the ball in Rico hands today.

Your thread stinks

He's a first overall pick. Need to see him take the reigns and command a formidable passing attack in his third season.

Expecting herculean efforts from your backfield and defense is not sustainable.

I saw someone on Twitter say he just doesn’t have the body to generate passes to make tight throws. If a qb can’t do that in the nfl, they won’t last. Most throws are tight throws and not every one is going to be wide open every play.

Bryce only "turned it around" because Dowdle went for 200 yards rushing.

Totally agree. Enjoying the win but benching Bryce could really give this team a shot in the arm.

We also wont play the dolphins every week

Didn’t even get 200 yards against a really bad secondary. Dude just isn’t the guy you want leading your offense. Hopefully he can play good enough that someone wants to trade for him.

Bingo

Same enjoying the win but Rico had to go  prime Adrian Peterson just to squeak out a dub

its the inconsistency in his play, missing throws and bad ball placement, he makes a throw like the one to XL for a Td, then next series whiffs a td throw to Tremble, running into pressure and other glaring issues, just ain’t going to cut it when a qb is generally going to take up 1/3 of your cap  

[LinvilleGorge]

That pick he threw after that atrocious fumble was it for me. I'm done as long as he's playing QB.

Defense forced Panthers to run and they did. Great performance by Dowdle to take advantage

He didn't lead them to a win, Rico and the defense did.

He threw a couple of touchdowns and made big throws at important moments. Obviously Dowdle was a big part in the come back but so was the QB. Whether we think he's the guy or not to say he should be benched after that game is silly and no, there isn't an organisation in the NFL who would bench him after that game.

Oh and anyone  pooing this thread  is just so overly invested is been “right” about Bryce they are putting THAT over the Panthers actually becoming a competitive, winning, and getting on track to be a well run team. 

it’s just absurd at this point what this team is having to work around.  There is no longer a debate about Bryce and what he is and isn’t 

[DeAngelo Beason]

Precisely.  Even mediocre QB play nets us a 3 score win in that game.
